Sommeliers

Sommeliers benefit by increasing their professional knowledge and skills through the competitive process, by enhancing their resumé through Chaîne recognition, and by meeting new people both in their profession and in the Chaîne who can help them succeed in the future.

L'Académie de Brillat-Savarin

A discrete organization and part of the Confrérie de la Chaîne des Rôtisseurs (“Society”) whose purpose is to encourage a technical and detailed understanding of foods, their preparation and effect on the senses; organize and promote excellence among the Society’s Professionals involved in the Food Industry.

Support The Chaîne Foundation

Since 1996, the Foundation has made scholarship grants of well over $4,000,000 to more than 75 qualifying schools where more than 85% of our members contribute.

Over $4,000,000 Raised!

The Chaîne Foundation is a tax-exempt organization and is funded primarily by the $25 check off boxes on the annual Chaîne dues notices. During the past decade approximately 80% of Chaîne members each year choose this method of support, making these funds the mainstay of the Chaîne’s fund raising efforts. These voluntary donations are tax deductible.

The Chaîne des Rôtisseurs

The world’s oldest international gastronomic society, founded in Paris in 1248. It is devoted to preserving the camaraderie and pleasures of the table and to promoting excellence in all areas of the hospitality arts. Each year the society sponsors young chef and sommelier competitions that attract contestants from throughout the world, while the Chaîne Foundation provides scholarships for students in these fields.
